We stayed one night after our long journey from Europe. Reva picked us up and took us to the airport the next day, she's very nice and gave us warm welcome to the island. The place is very clean and tidy. The bed is super comfortable. Breakfast was simply amazing!!! Recommended!!!

Reva was exceptional. We were delayed by the airline for a day and Reva was able to accommodate us in her bungalow. Her husband picked us up at the airport and Reva took us back there early the next morning. The bungalow was wonderful - clean and comfortable

The accommodations were very clean, quiet, and definitely island style….just what we were looking for! Reva, her husband, & her sister went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and are very sweet & sincere people. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anybody! Location is super convenient and not in the middle of any busy business district. Reva was waiting for us at the airport upon arrival & was always on time for transfers. Extremely fair with pricing for accommodations, car rental, & extra transfers (to the cruise port. Maruru Reva!

Absolutely nothing

Reva, the owner is just great - You can tell she is very dedicated to the well-being of her guests. Welcome juice and fruits were an awesome touch. Very flexible on pick-up and drop-off times to the airport (our drop-off time is 4:30am). Entire room is perfectly clean and comfortable. Kitchen is very practical. Garden area is nice and comfortable to enjoy the evening. Whilst we didn't have a chance to try them, there were plenty of interesting activities available from the lodge - we wish we would have had more time here. Exactly what we needed on our last evening of our holiday in French Polynesia

Breakfast was very good, with a lot of choices, served in the covered patio area. It was delightful! Plus, you could make your own fresh, Tahitian coffee when you woke up. Reva was a wonderful and accommodating host. We rented her car for the day and toured the island.

Breakfast was expensive for what we got. The roosters crowed all night. Room was pretty bare. Confusion about included airport pick up. We ended taking a cab which added to the cost.

It was definitely local and funky. Bathroom was new and shower was good.

2-star rating is more realistic . The bathroom needs upgrading. No hotwater in the shower.

It was close to the airport.

I made my own coffee and breakfast. Wierd? Was suppose to be picked up from airport. No one was there. I could go on and on........

Stayed in February 2024

Quite old and run down. Some ceiling fans both inside and outside would make a big difference due to the heat and humidity.

The owner is very nice. They offer a share kitchen which is helpful if you want to self cater.

Stayed in November 2023

Hot water wasn't hot. Missed our pickup at the airport so had to take a cab to the lodge.

Very friendly hosts. They provide transportation between the airport and the lodge. Quiet neighborhood.

My room was not ready on time and I was accomodated in another room at another place (not Manaeva Lodge).

Reva is a great host. She will pick you up and bring you to the airport. Room was clean and spacious. Good wifi. Close to the airport.

Stayed in April 2023

The garden room was smaller than the other room, yet more expensive than the other rooms, lots of mosquitos, we stayed for airport transfers for 4 hours only l still cost the same rate for a night which included breakfast, however we only got small plates of fruit, paid cash and got a very poor exchange rate.

Pick up & drop off at the airport, located minutes from The airport.

The problem with our particular stay was that we never actually got to stay there, due to "over-booking". I say "overbooking" because I suspect it was more like preferential booking. There was a group of friends and family (of the owners) having a farewell gathering there and although we saw a small garden bungalow unoccupied (door open, clean and completely welcoming for the next guest) we were told that due to an error we would be staying elsewhere. That was fine with us (a bit confused) but we took our luggage back to the street and loaded up in a vehicle that took us to the top of the mountain we were already on, to a palatial brand new home with spectacular views! If that would have been the final situation, we would have been thrilled. Unfortunately, the other two "guests" that were staying there, were obviously caretakers of someone's property and just like ourselves, were not expecting this arrangement. We were shown a beautiful bedroom/shower/bath and also shown a common kitchen area with a patio overlooking the city below. The caretakers were courteous but clearly not happy we were sharing their spot. We were then shown back to our room and the host drove off the mountain top leaving us with no option to basically leave the property and the wifi password didn't work either. We sneaked out to the kitchen to heat up some food we had bought earlier that day and as we were about to sit and eat, the caretakers returned from somewhere else and clearly were annoyed that we were out of our room. So back we went and ate our dinner in our room of this huge home with a beautiful view that we never got a chance to enjoy. I barely slept the rest of the night worrying that our 4;45am pick-up to the airport was going actually happen, since our host had gone back to party with her friends & family. To her credit, the host was there promptly at 4:45am, as promised, and took us back down the mountain to the airport on...

The location of Maneva was really good (just overlooking the airport area) The Lodge was quaint and felt very welcoming with a common kitchen area down by the garden. It was well appointed and had a wonderful garden seating area.

I asked if the room was paid for when we left in the morning and I was told "yes". I then received a message that the room was not paid for. I asked them to call me for my credit card number. They called me once at 1 am and I did not answer, the follow up email from them was a threat to call the authorities, this after one call at 1 am. Buyer beware here. I emailed them again and asked them to contact me for my credit card number. I do not have their phone number to call them
